Three finalists for NTID president named - RocNow.com
Three finalists are in the running to head the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology.
The school has been without a permanent leader since the resignation a year ago of President T. Alan Hurwitz, who accepted the presidency of Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. James J. DeCaro was named as interim president last year.
“This is really the chief in terms of leadership, vision and implementation of their vision and their strategic plan,” said James Miller, senior vice president for enrollment management and career service. “The position also serves as dean of the college and vice president of RIT. It’s certainly an intriguing position, it’s a challenging position and recognizes the comprehensive nature and scope of NTID.”
Each of the three finalists is deaf or hearing impaired and has extensive backgrounds in higher education, health care and advocacy. The final candidates were narrowed down from a field of 18 people.
Gerard Buckley is an internal candidate. He is the chairperson and an associate professor with the Department of Education Outreach at NTID. He has more than 30 years experience in higher education.
Roberta Cordano most recently served as vice president of Park Nicollet Health Services in St. Louis Park, Minn. She also served as an assistant attorney general for the state of Minnesota dealing with consumer and charity cases.
The third finalist, John Wyvill, is a member of the United States Access Board and an adjunct professor at Kaplan University in Lincoln, Neb. He is also a former attorney in Arkansas, serving as an assistant legal council for the state’s Office of Governor.
The finalists are scheduled to visit the campus over the next month to meet with the faculty and staff at the college. Miller said the interview process should be completed by the end of October with plans to have the new president in place by early next year.
